Intro:

Well...

Verse 1:

I was dancin', with my baby, to the Tennessee Waltz,

When an old friend, I happened, I happened to see, oh yeah.

I intro-duced him, to my baby, and while they were dancin';

My friend stole my sweetheart, away from me, oh yes he did.

I re-member the night, and that beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Only you know, how much I have lost, oh yeah.

You know that I lost my, lost my baby, the night they kept on playing,

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz, oh yeah.

Verse 2:

I was dancin', with my baby, to that Tenne, Tennessee Waltz,

When an old friend, I happened, I happened to see, oh yeah.

I intro-duced him, to my baby, and while they were dancin';

That dirty dog, stole my baby, away from me, oh yeah.

But I re-member the night, and that beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Only you know, just how much, how much I have lost, oh yeah.

You know that I lost my, lost my baby, the night they kept on playing,

That beautiful, that wonderful, that marvelous, that glorious.

That beautiful, Tennessee Waltz.
